Based on the way Airbnb is structured, NightsBridge automatically updates many features in Airbnb. We also update other features manually, once you tell us about the changes you've made.
In addition, there are some features which you need to manage directly on your Airbnb extranet back office login.
We have listed the specific features based on their update method so that your information is kept accurate.
Your sync status on Airbnb influences these updates.
